D‑SUB Cable ShiverPeaks AK 401 SC 25‑pin Male‑to‑Male 1.8 m

The D‑SUB Cable ShiverPeaks AK 401 SC 25‑pin Male‑to‑Male 1.8 m is a standard DB‑25 connection cable designed for direct serial and parallel links between compatible devices. It features two 25‑pin male Sub‑D connectors and a 1.8 metre flexible jacket, providing reliable signal paths for equipment that uses RS‑232 or parallel DB‑25 wiring. The cable is intended for applications where a straightforward male‑to‑male DB‑25 connection is required, including legacy peripherals and industrial devices.

Advantages

This cable offers a simple and robust physical design with molded male Sub‑D plugs and snap hoods to secure the connection. The 25‑pin standard pinout ensures compatibility with devices expecting a DB‑25 interface for serial communication or parallel data transfer. Its 1.8 m length balances reach and signal integrity for short-to-medium distance installations without excess slack.

Suitable for

• Connecting RS‑232 serial ports on industrial controllers and measurement instruments
• Linking printers or parallel interface peripherals that use DB‑25 male connectors
• Direct cabling between POS systems and legacy devices with DB‑25 ports
• Temporary or permanent wiring in laboratory and workshop environments

Key specifications

• Connector type: 2 × 25‑pin male Sub‑D (DB‑25 male) with snap hoods
• Cable length: 1.8 metres
• Pinout: standard 25‑pin D‑SUB wiring for RS‑232/parallel interfaces
• Jacket: flexible insulated outer sheath suitable for indoor use
• Mechanical features: molded strain relief at each connector

How to use

Align each DB‑25 male connector with the mating female port and insert straight to ensure correct pin engagement. Secure the connection using the snap hoods to prevent accidental disconnection. Use the cable in environments where it will not be excessively flexed or exposed to liquids; route the cable to avoid sharp bends and mechanical stress. For RS‑232 connections, confirm device pinout and signal levels match the cable wiring before powering equipment.

Usage recommendations

Use this DB‑25 male‑to‑male cable for direct device-to-device links in controlled indoor environments. Avoid long continuous runs that may degrade signal quality and inspect connectors periodically for wear. When interfacing with equipment that may have different pinout conventions, verify wiring compatibility to prevent communication issues.
